Identifying viewing characteristics of an audience of a content channel
Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying viewing characteristics of an audience of a content channel. In one implementation, a processing device receives an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having associated videos, receives data for a plurality of watch sessions where multiple videos are watched during the watch sessions, identifies at least two watch sessions of the plurality of watch sessions, each identified watch session having a watched video that is associated with the channel of interest, and identifies a most watched channel in the at least two identified watch sessions, the most watched channel being a channel that is most watched by viewers of the channel of interest but that is not the same as the channel of interest.
1. A method comprising:
receiving an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform,
wherein the network-based media sharing platform provides a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,
wherein each of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watched video from the channel of interest and one or more watched videos from at least one other channel associated with another channel owner, and
wherein multiple videos are watched by each of the plurality of users during each of the plurality of watch sessions, and
presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of a most watched channel in the plurality of watch sessions that each comprise the watched video from the channel of interest,
wherein the most watched channel includes at least one video with a highest number of appearances in the plurality of watch sessions as compared to other channels of the plurality of channels.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity of a particular geographic location.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watch session where the multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the multiple videos included in the plurality of watch sessions are watched in response to a selection received from a user.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the most watched channel is determined based on watch counts associated with respective watch sessions of the plurality of watch sessions.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one video with the highest number of appearances in the plurality of watch sessions is not the same as videos associated with the channel of interest.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the most watched channel is associated with a most watched topic in the plurality of watch sessions, the most watched topic being a topic of a highest number of videos in the watch session.
9. A system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing device, coupled to the memory, to:
receive an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform,
wherein the network-based media sharing platform provides a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,
wherein each of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watched video from the channel of interest and one or more watched videos from at least one other channel associated with another channel owner, and
wherein multiple videos are watched by each of the plurality of users during each of the plurality of watch sessions, and
present a notification indicating characteristics of content of a most watched channel in the plurality of watch sessions that each comprise the watched video from the channel of interest,
wherein the most watched channel includes at least one video with a highest number of appearances in the plurality of watch sessions as compared to other channels of the plurality of channels.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity of a particular geographic location.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein at least one of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watch session where the multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the multiple videos included in the plurality of watch sessions are watched in response to a selection received from a user.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the most watched channel is determined based on watch counts associated with respective watch sessions of the plurality of watch sessions.
15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one video with the highest number of appearances in the plurality of watch sessions is not the same as videos associated with the channel of interest.
16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the most watched channel is associated with a most watched topic in the plurality of watch sessions, the most watched topic being a topic of a highest number of videos in the watch session.
17. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:
receiving an identification of a channel of interest, the channel of interest having a plurality of videos and being associated with a first channel owner in a network-based media sharing platform,
wherein the network-based media sharing platform provides a plurality of watch sessions to a plurality of users,
wherein each of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watched video from the channel of interest and one or more watched videos from at least one other channel associated with another channel owner, and
wherein multiple videos are watched by each of the plurality of users during each of the plurality of watch sessions, and
presenting a notification indicating characteristics of content of a most watched channel in the plurality of watch sessions that each comprise the watched video from the channel of interest,
wherein the most watched channel includes at least one video with a highest number of appearances in the plurality of watch sessions as compared to other channels of the plurality of channels.
18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a particular geographic location.
19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein each watch session of the plurality of watch sessions is associated with a geographic location that is within a defined proximity of a particular geographic location.
20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the plurality of watch sessions comprises a watch session where the multiple videos are watched across multiple devices associated with a user.
